Cannot Change Contrast Through Keyboard Shortcut

Hello Everyone!
Today while I am trying to change the contrast of my MacBook Pro it seems to say Not Permitted. It did not happen before, the key I pressed is F6 and F5. Here's the image:

F5 and F6 do not change display contrast, they change keyboard backlight brightness.
F1 and F2 change display brightness, not display contrast.
The only way to adjust display contrast and assign a shortcut is through the Accessibility settings.

  • I hate it when they change all the keyboard shortcuts. Is there a fix for these?

    I don't understand why Adobe thinks that consistency is a bad thing, but it seems that everytime they update they go jerking with my keyboard shortcuts. Last time it was Indesign, this time it Photoshop that has me complaining. Usually I can change things back to the way I like under Edit/ Keyboard Shortcuts... but this time they've really done it.
    Probably the 2 sets of shortcuts that I use the most over the last 15 years of using Photoshop, thus have become a natural reflex, when using the program are Toggling between CMYK channels via cmd-1,2,3&4, (sorry using cmd 3,4,5&6 is just completely unnatural) and Fit to Window (cmd-0). I cannot find a menu selection anywhere that would allow me to change these back, and Fit to Window has been completely removed from the view menu altogether! WTF?
    I guess I could get used to the new channel key commands if need be, but no Fit to Window? what is this world coming to?
    Anyone know of a workaround to this problem.

    Heh...found the ad-copy I wrote for AccessPad Pro:
    You're a power-user. The applications you work with do your bidding like YoYo Ma's Cello, like Perleman's violin, like Bill Evans' piano.
    You've customized the way your applications openall the Tools and Palettes show up right where you like them. You may even have a few custom workspace arrangements for different purposes. You switch between them with a mouse click, and you're ready to go.
    You've made brilliant use of Actions, Macros, Scripts and other built-in time- and effort-saving functions.
    You know hundreds of keyboard shortcuts, and have spent time reassigning the defaults to more deftly meet your needs. You've assigned F-key shortcuts to some of those functions that don't even have shortcuts.
    You're a power-user, but you've run up against a couple things that put a brick wall in front of your ever-increasing efficiency.
    Firstyour keyboard is designed for typing actual text. It's been that way since the dawn of the first mechanical typewriters. The way the keys are arranged are meant to make it easy for your fingers to find the keys. Even if you use the arguably better Dvorak arrangement for key assignments. Even if you have one of those split-and-angled "ergonomic keyboards, they're still designed to do one thing well: Let the user type text as efficiently as possible.
    Your keyboardwhatever the specieswas never meant to be an efficient, ergonomic way to access the shortcuts you depend on. For your current keyboardnay, ANY keyboardto perform optimally as a shortcut access device, you'd do well to have a third hand, or a freakishly long set of fingers that could bend 360 degrees in any direction.
    SecondYour keyboard only allows a finite number of shortcuts. If you find yourself wishing and begging for just one more F-key, so you wouldn't have to get rid of some of your old shortcuts just to add a newly discovered "must-have", you're out of luck. It's about impossible to find one that has any more than 16 F-keys. Even if you could find a keyboard with more user-assignable keys, there's still the matter of the first problem, that is: How to reach them easily and quickly?
    Forget all of those hassles, starting now.
    The AccessPad Pro, by Phosergistics, is a computer peripheral designed from the ground up to allow youthe kings and queens of all power usersto have access to a virtually unlimited number of shortcuts. It sits on your desk, opposite the hand you use for operating your mouse. You rest your hand on it, in a comfortable relaxed manner. Notice where your thumb naturally falls. Right there, under your thumb, you find that there are buttons that replicated the Command & Option keys found on your keyboard. They can be pressed and activated independently or in tandem.
    Under the heel of your hand is a somewhat larger button. Press down slightly, and you'll enable the same behavior as the Shift key on your keyboard.
    Using your thumb and the heel of your hand you can enable 6 combinations of modifiers.
    Now, look at your fingers. Beneath where they naturally rest on the AccessPad Pro you'll see six gracefully curved rows of buttons, 4 in each row. These buttons are arranged ergonomically, so the slightest curl of your finger can find and press any of the 24 buttons.
    Let's do some simple math: 6 combinations of modifier keys, multiplied by 24 easily reachable, user-assignable function buttons...The AccessPad Pro gives you comfortable access to a whopping 144 shortcut assignments, all without moving your hand.
    But that's not all. 144 shortcuts isn't enough for you? No problem. You can have a virtually unlimited number of these 144 shortcut sets, user assignable to work system-wide, or on a per-application basis, and you can load any set, any time you want. And because these custom shortcut assignments are written to a preset file using the industry standard XML scripting language, you can save these sets as tiny text files which you can share and trade with users on either the Mac or Windows platform.
    You're a power-user. Forget about trying to grow a 3rd hand. Forget about wishing you hand foot-long fingers.
    Use your mouse for moving your cursor.
    Use your keyboard for typing text.
    Use AccessPad Pro to speed up everything else you do on your computer. Try it for a week and you'll wonder how you ever worked without it.

  • Change Stamp Visible keyboard shortcut?

    I have looked through all the menu keyboard shortcuts and of course have found Merge Visible which doen't help me.  I don't see anything in keyboard shortcuts that lets me change Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E to something different.  Exactly what is that shortcut called in PS CS5, where do I find it?
    Thanks,
    Tim 

    Sure does seem to be missing from the obvious places, doesn't it?  Probably because it's not actually in a menu anywhere.
    Recording an action does yield a bit of a clue...  It records as Merge Visible With Duplicate:
    The Alt seems to add the "With Duplicate".
    Just a guess, but based on the above, if you were to change the Merge Visible shortcut to something besides Control-Shift-E you might find that adding Alt to whatever you assign to that function would be a Stamp Visible operation.  I didn't try that.
    Or you could record an action as above and assign it a function key.

  • Option to disable/change "Skype Call" keyboard shortcut

    Hi I'm using a keyboard layout that uses the key-combination "altgr+r" to write a special character that I use fairly often when chatting with people, this however is the command for "Make Skype Call" in the Skype client so every so often I accidentally make a skype call when chatting with people because of this. Why can't the keyboard shortcut be changed or disabled/removed?! This is incredibly annoying to me and disruptive to people i communicate with.
    Unless this keyboard shortcut is able to be changed/disabled I will have to start using alternative clients/services.

    Ok Alt+A is a **bleep**up on my side, it is a shortcut used by KeePass to insert credentials....but Alt+R remains

  • Changing the safari keyboard shortcuts possible?

    So I was wondering if anyone knew a way to change the shortcuts on the keyboard for Safari, specifically I would like to change the "Command-R" function which reloads the page to "F5". I have gone throught the whole keyboard shortcuts tab in system prefs (System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts) and added the safari menu command and my shortcut I wanted to add yada yada yada and nothing ever works no matter how many times I try or what I change. I am not sure whether or not the fact that I am the Apple Wireless keyboard has anything to do with this but I doubt it does. Any ideas?

    Hi
    I had to quit safari & reopen before it worked, but yes, it does work with F5.
    Did you choose Safari from the applications list in sys prefs-keyboard & mouse-keyboard shortcuts?
    then type Reload Page ( including the capital letters ) ? in the Menu Title box?
    then leave keyboard prefs?
    Let us know how you get on

  • Can I change the default keyboard shortcuts?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it was possible to change some of the default keyboard shortcuts. Some of the actions I use quite frequently have 4-button shortcuts that require a lot more dexterity than I have and I was hoping I can change them to something simple, like 2-keys or 3 at the most. Is this doable?
    Thanks

    Many can be changed. System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts.

  • How do i change display sleep keyboard shortcut

    I know that to sleep display i can use ctrl-shift-eject
    this is fine but i would ideally like to change it to a simple bind. like like cmd-§ or some other two button bind. I've check the keyboard shortcut tab in system preferences and i either can't spot it or its not there. Im assuming its because its a default command. Anyone know if there's a way i can add a bind to sleep all displays or a way to edit this one?
    Thanks in advance

  • Change screen share keyboard shortcut

    Hello,
    I just got a new keyboard that connect to multiple computers. Very helpful...however the Command F2 button actually registers as Command F15.
    Is there a way to change my share screen shortcut or change what my keyboard perceives is happening so I can use share screen from this keyboard?
    Any help would be great!

  • I've used a terminal command to change default send keyboard shortcut and now it doesn't work at all!

    My friend provided me with a Terminal command allow me to use Cmd+Enter to send an email (muscle memory from Outlook, hard to forget!)
    Command was:
    defaults write com.apple.mail NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Send" "@\\U21a9"
    Did that, and it didn't add the Cmd+Enter instruction but removed the Cmd+Shift+D instruction, so I had NO keyboard shortcut. Then Cmd+Enter started working. For a while. Now I'm back to getting the irritating error bleep sound, and having no functional keyboard shortcut for sending mail.
    Does anybody have any advice?

    Try
    defaults delete com.apple.mail NSUserKeyEquivalents
    Then, relaunch Mail.

  • Cannot use "save as" keyboard shortcut

    Hi all.This is a very strange problem. When I select "CTRL+SHIFT+S" I expect to get the 'save as' dialogue box. However, instead I get a small red thing that looks like a top left corner of a rectangle, You can see it in the screenshot below. Any ideas?
    thanks.

    Hi jssd,
    Are you still facing this issue.
    You may try to check the document properties> Secrity,  weather you have rights to save the document. To check document properties. open document in Reader press Ctrl + D.
    And to save file you need to Shift + Ctrl + S. Try to create a new sample document and try to save.
    You may try to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Reader. And install latest updates.
    Regards,

  • Expose Keyboard Shortcut Changes Don't Affect Slow-Mo

    Because I use my F keys for working in the Adobe CS2 Suite, I have changed the Expose keyboard shortcuts to require the ctrl key.
    However, this did not change the slow-motion Expose key combinations. For example: while the F10 Adobe shortcut now works on the Adobe App, when I try to use the Shift-F10 Adobe shortcut I still get the slow-motion Expose. I do not see that keyboard shortcut anywhere in the preferences menus, so I don't know how to re-map it.
    I don't want to lose the slow-mo... I still want it because it still causes envy in my PC using friends! I just want to re-map it.
    Can anyone give me a suggestion? Thanks.
    PS: This brings up a suggestion: since Apple makes all their own hardware why not put in separate buttons or other hardware controls for Expose & Dashboard? If Microsoft can single-handedly get all their IBM cloners to put a Windows key on all their PCs (genius marketing in the guise of usability), I don't' see why Apple can't do the same with the hardware they design and manufacture (and their button would actually be useful!)
    PowerBook 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   Mac newbie - Have Athlon desktop PC at home - works on a PC based network at wor

    I have a similar problem, where I try to publish a flash file using shift-F12 and instead get the slow expose. I really don't care for it, just want to totally disable it. Anyone know how?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Keyboard Shortcuts Help

    Hey! Not sure if I am posting this in the right location, but anyway...
              I use a Wacom Cintiq with my Photoshop Cs5.1 package and have had some troubles when it comes to a particular keyboard shortcut.
         The scroll wheel on the Cintiq when it's set to brush size is using the default "[ and ]" which scales up and down the brush size in Photoshop and is how I want it to be. Though when I am painting I use the eyedropper tool a lot which is the "Option" key. I don't really want to change this as I am used to it being in that location and am not sure where else to set it on my keyboard.
         So the problem here is that when I am using the scroll wheel for brush size I am sometimes holding down the Option key so the keyboard shortcut "Opt + [ and ]" is being used which cycles through the different layers I have made. This can be very annoying when I am happily painting my illustration and suddenly I'm on a different layer without realising it.
         So how do you remove this keyboard shortcut "Opt + [ and ]" as I don't want it to cycle through the layers with this, I'd rather it be deleted. I have looked through keyboard shortcuts and can't find anything, I've also checked online and cannot locate a way of disabling it, thanks!
    P.S You may be thinking why don't I just change the keyboard shortcut to the brush size scroll wheel. Well I have tried that and it seems to be a little bit laggy if it doesn't use "[ and ]".

    nobody know?

  • Keyboard shortcuts in CFB on Mac

    Hi,
    I work now with ColdfusionBuilder on Mac OS X and there are a few things I am missing from the Windows version. I use the latest on Mac OSX btw
    In the CF editor, I can use ctrl+Arrow left to jump one word to the left and Ctrl+Arrow right to jump one word to the right.
    A word boundary on Windows includes dots so I can travel a dot-separated string by word: "This.is.my.dot.separated.path" consists of 6 words and I am able to get to any word with ctrl-arrow (e.g. clicking twice ctrl-Arrow right brings me to "my"). On Mac the dots are discarded so the string "This.is.my.dot.separated.path" is seen as one word and I cannot jump in between dots.
    In the navigation view I can travel a hierarchical tree with the cursor keys. To expand a tree I highlight the root  folder, press arrow right and then highlight any item within the expanded tree. To collapse the tree again I press arrow-left, regardless which item in the expanded tree is currently selected.
    In CFB for Mac I can only collapse a tree this way when the root folder is highlighted. This forces me to travel to the root folder before I can collapse it.
    Small things but boring on a day-to day basis.
    Is there any fix for these?

    I've just done some testing, and can confirm that Dreamweaver CS5.5 on a Mac (UK keyboard) allows you to assign Ctrl+Tab to that keyboard shortcut. But it won't accept it on Dreamweaver CS6.
    I've no idea why that should be so. It's probably an internal change to something else that has affected it, and nobody noticed during testing because it's not common to change an existing keyboard shortcut to something else.
    I suggest that you file a bug report through the form at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform. Reports filed through that form go directly to the program team.
    I can understand your frustration, but please remember that most of the people answering questions here, including myself, are not Adobe employees.

  • Can't map keyboard shortcuts in Dreamweaver CS6 (Mac)

    I am trying to modify the keyboard shortcuts in Dreamweaver CS6 on Mac to match the mappings I had for CS5.
    I used Ctrl + Tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab to switch between open documents. When I trry to set this in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog it ignores my input. I tried to modify it in menu.xml (which already had this set, presumably because it copied it from CS5), but it still doesn't appear in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog or work when I press the keys.
